By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of
the United States, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
the reporting functions of the President under subsections (h) and (j) of
section 1016 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of
2004 (Public Law 108-458), as amended by the Implementing Recommendations
of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) (IRTPA), are hereby
assigned to the Director of National Intelligence (Director). The Director
shall consult the Secretaries of State, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security,
and the Attorney General in performing such functions.

Heads of departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted by law,
furnish to the Director information that the Director requests to perform
such functions, in the format and on the schedule specified by the
Director.

The Director shall perform such functions in a manner consistent with the
President's constitutional authority to withhold information the disclosure
of which could impair foreign relations, national security, the
deliberative processes of the Executive, and the performance of the
Executive's constitutional duties.

Any reference in this memorandum to the provision of IRTPA shall be deemed
to include references to any hereafter-enacted provision of law that is the
same or substantially the same as such provision.

The Director is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the
Federal Register.
